Recently grabbed some dinner from vietspot after having a craving for some Vietnamese food. Pros: - was ready pretty quickly - flavor of the grilled pork was good Cons: - not enough protein at the price point - summer rolls were almost all lettuce While it was a fine enough meal, I just didn't see the value! read more

This spot is perfect for a quick lunch. Their pho lunch combo was more than filling. My classmate and I left there so stuffed we couldn't even finish the Pho. The portions are very generous for the price you pay. Overall very tasty, quick and friendly service, and a convenient place to drop in for a quick bite. I definitely recommend trying Vietspot. read more

My order was ready quickly. I ordered the classic banh mi which was made with cured ham and pate meat. The bread was crispy, warm and freshly made. The classic banh mi was made with Fresh ingredients like cilantro, cucumber, pickled carrots. Overall it was missing/ lacking flavor. I opted out of spicy but I want a banh mi to be tasty without it. read more

Got a tofu banh mi to go and ordered it spicy. It was laaarge and the veggies were crisp. They don't offer the texture-rich crispy tofu, though, only huge silky pieces. I asked! The pieces were good but didn't hit the same as others I like. They offer all types of classic Vietnamese dishes, combo meals, even boba teas. Tiny restaurant but there's still some indoor seating. Really quick and friendly counter service + the sandwich was good so I'll be back eventually. read more

I swear I'd reviewed this place e before but upon checking my list I realized I never did. I get pho from here sometimes and its good for the price. The place is small and there are some stools along the counters ( both sides and front ) . Anyway , today I was craving Banh Mi and I thought I'd get it from here since the pho is good. Honestly, the sandwich wasn't good. Yes the ingredients were fresh, no doubt there, but the flavors were just salt and pepper. No jalapeño, no dressing or butter on the bread and the carrots weren't that pickled. So yes to pho here and no to the Banh Mi Classic. Service is good. The staff is friendly. By the way they had a free drink today for orders over $10. It was a rose lemonade and it was fantastic. I'm including 1 photo from my previous dining experience with photos here. Happy times. read more

It is a reliable viet food fixing spot, with viet coffee and banh mi and pho. I like their banh mi, customization option. Their pho broth is good and hot, but the coffee is too sweet.

A great quick place to stop! We sat at the high tops area and enjoyed our time. The food came quickly and staff were efficient. The food was very good! I got the rice bowl which I very much enjoyed every bit of and the portions were great. The sandwich and pho my friends got were great too, but my rice bowl was my favorite for sure! I also got Thai tea and it was very good as well. I would defintely come back! read more

No time? Grab a to-go Viet sandwich from this excellent carry out place or if you've got not adventurous spirit from Pisinello's sandwich shop next door. Both will be excellent and satisfying and truly the Vietnamese food in this takeout space is terrific. Wait times are minimal and flavor is outstanding. Bring it to City Hall Park and watch the people. And watch out for the pigeons. read more

This place is nearby my job and good thing it is so convenient to get lunch. What's good about this place is that they have student discounts if you're a student at BMCC or Pace University. I got a 7% discount just like that! I got the rice combo that includes a rice platter and an appetizer. Got the pork chop and summer rolls with peanut sauce. The pork chop came out chopped so I didn't need a knife. Was very delicious and tad sweet. What made the rice platter tasty were the chives to add that extra kick! Summer rolls came with shrimp and vermicelli inside. The cilantro in the summer roll added an extra flavor that made the taste more appetizing. This place is cute and cozy and lots of bar stools and counter tops for seating. Casual and chill ambience. Utensils like chop sticks, forks, sriracha, and hoi sin sauces are available to grab. read more

There is limited seating but if you get lucky, you'll get to enjoy your meal at their side bar while its fresh and hot. I got the Combo which comes with a choice of Pho, Canned drink, and appetizer. I opted for the Cooked & Raw Beef Pho, the Crispy Tofu Bites, and a Sprite. I also added a Vietnamese Coffee for a boost of energy. The Pho tasted similar to.. if you were to make instant pho at home. It was not great and definitely needed more seasoning and "oomph." The Crispy Tofu Bites came with a sauce; I liked how crispy hot the tofu was and it paired well with their sweet chili sauce. I also got a Pork Banh Mi that was really good. I didn't expect the banh mi to taste that great but it really surprised me. The pork was cooked and seasoned well, and the bread was soft and fluffy. My friend got a Chicken Rice Bowl- it was very good as well. The chicken was nicely seasoned and cooked well. The Vietnamese Coffee was too bitter for our liking, I asked if they could add more condensed milk but unfortunately it comes pre mixed. They offered to add syrup so I figured that night help.....it didnt. lol I would highly recommend this place if youre in the area and looking for some good Viet food. I recommend any of their pork chop or chicken dishes. Maybe don't get their Pho if youve had traditional pho before. read more

Definitely a little hole in the wall. There is bar type seating on both sides. One set of stools faces a wall and the other faces a mirrored wall. You order at the counter and someone will bring your food if you're dining in. We got pho- an order of grilled chicken pho $15.95 plus tax and shrimp pho $14.25 plus tax. My sister like the lychee drink also, $5 plus tax. The pho came out piping hot and full of flavor. We both enjoyed our visit. read more

I came here yesterday for dinner. I ordered the lunch combo of pho and appetizer with a drink. The total was $25.00 and it was ok and a lot of food. The pho i ordered was raw and cooked beef. The amount of food is a lot and you can easily share this with someone else. The pho was not very flavorful and I did not like the dumplings. I think this is the only Vietnamese restaurant in the area. There were alot of people here so I am not sure if maybe I ordered the wrong thing or if people have different expectations of pho. I don't think; I would go back. The staff is very efficient and they also clean frequently. It does not take long to get your food and the ordering is organized. read more

Not many viet places down in fidi. This is probably one of the best ones in the neighborhood. It's a small joint with very limited seating. Only about 10 seats along the wall counters. They have your typical pho and summer rolls which is what I get. I love the soup can never get enough. You can get a pho and app combo for $22 You may see a long line at lunch time during the weekdays. Although to be clear as this ranks for viet food in general is mediocre if that. I'm just craving pho. read more

Go for the pho. It's very fresh. The broth is so tasty. The meat slices are tender. The sprout and onion are crisp. I love it here.

Alright, easy lunch spot in FiDi that does not quite satisfy the lunch craving, it felt slightly more like Vietnamese fast food. The Banh Mi is very standard for the course. Nothing much added but nothing much is subtracted either. It felt quite blah with an easy feel to it. The summer rolls have a nice spring, if that majes sense. They are served with peanut sauce, but unless you plan on eating them with a fork and knife, it is one dip only. Perhaps all these years I am eating them wrong. Compared to Hello Vietpho this was expensive and not quite something I would go to get again. Compared to what is next door, they have tough competition. I would tell you what is next door, but I want you to find out for yourself. Once you do, you will find yourself going there more than over here. read more

Now y'all know I don't play about my PHO! So when I saw this spot was across the street from my hotel I had to try it. I ordered mine to go since the place was small and a bit crowded. The food smelled so good so I was ready for some great pho but was highly disappointed. I ordered the chicken pho but it was grilled chicken like you may find at a teriyaki or even ramen spot. The broth options were beef even with the chicken pho. I made the mistake of ordering the air fried spring rolls. They tasted like paper on the outside and the inside was okay but I ate maybe 1 and 1/2 of the 6 I got. The Pho did not automatically come with bean sprouts I had to ask for them. I was highly disappointed with the whole experience and that is rare coming from me and Pho. read more

The space is fairly small with limited spaces to sit so if it's busy, it'll be hard to eat there. And it is packed seating so you'll be very close to someone else eating. They have combo deals which are worth it which includes the appetizer, entree, and soda. The pho itself was very underwhelming...broth was not good and even with condiments, it didn't help. I think the summer rolls were packed with too much noodle and lettuce and the peanut sauce too sweet. It wasn't fresh either. There weren't many Vietnamese options in the area but would not recommend. read more

I was very hungry and eager to eat, but thi was probably the worst Vietnamese food I've ever had. None of it was good. But especially bad were the tofu bites and the spring rolls, which were air-fried. I guess air-frying is just a bad way to cook. read more

My favorite dish is the pork chop rice bowl platter. It's the only thing I get. I've never tried anything else. It's a very tiny space. There is some seating, but it's uncomfortable. It's better to order to go. They have a surprisingly extensive menu, including pho, bahn mi, vermicelli, salads, and so on. Let me tell you, Vietnamese-style pork chops are absolutely delicious. The rice bowl includes rice, tomato, lettuce, pickled carrots, radish, cucumber, cilantro, jalapeno, and fish sauce. The fish sauce is served on the side. Overall, 4 stars. I'll just keep ordering the pork chops on rice. read more

This slightly hole-in-the-wall place is a go-to spot for quick and easy pho or banh mi or any typical Viet restaurant dish that's quick and easy. It is located in FiDi, close enough to several companies, the WTC and Fulton Center so it is definitely a convenient takeout lunch spot. Their menu is simple and also offers several combination choices including a pho+appetizer+drink or a sandwich+appetizer+drink and other combos too. The prices are what you would expect from a place surrounded by large corporate entities where people pay high prices for lunch. It isn't the cheapest option but it also isn't a ripoff. I enjoyed the banh mi combo with an appetizer and drink. The sandwich had lots of ingredients, the bread was toasty and the appetizer was a full portion as well. I've had the beef pho here as well and it was pretty basic and simple but when you don't have time to fully enjoy a meal, you'd probably be ok with it as well. They provide everything that you would need to enjoy your meal including any applicable sauces. Their dining area is small for those that would wanna sit and eat but I've mostly seen a majority of the people come and go. In summary, this is a decent Viet spot for classic, convenient and simple Viet food to take out but it is not the best pho option out there at all. Convenience is key with this place and the prices reflect that convenience but the city is huge and there are hundreds of pho places out there to explore aside from this one. read more

Definitely agree with the raving reviews about the tofu! I got the tofu pho and honestly the tofu was even more flavorful than the soup (I do think they made a mistake though, and gave me vegetable broth instead of beef broth like I asked because I tried my sister's beef pho and her broth was a lot more flavorful). They are also very generous with the serving sizes, so it's pretty good value for NYC (about $15 per meal). The tofu pieces were about as big as the palm of my hand, and there were ~6 of them! The place is tiny--there's only about 8 seats so it's a good spot to get takeout or a quick lunch, but if you have more people with you then it's probably a good idea to look elsewhere. read more

I love Banmi sandwiches from this restaurant. I've never had any issues from this restaurant before, till tonight. I bit into some sharp bone pieces, which stabbed my gum pretty badly. I understand that it's a pork chop sandwich but people don't expect to get actual bone pieces in the sandwich, which can be pretty dangerous. Please be more cautious when you prep the meat with bones in it. read more

Stopped by to grab take out for lunch. It's a small spot so there's limited seating. Would recommend dining solo or with one more person. It's well priced, esp for the combos. I got the vermicelli bowl combo (grilled pork chop, summer roll and soda). The portion size is huge, esp the vermicelli bowl (a lot of noodles). They also give you two summer rolls which I thought was generous esp as part of a combo. The fish sauce lacked a bit of flavor which was unfortunate but the grilled pork chop was flavorful. I enjoyed the summer rolls so I'd probably be back for that and to try their pho (though I haven't had any success here in NYC in finding a good pho place). read more

Fantastic little Vietnamese place with lots of vegan options. The bahn mi was a fantastic delicious tofu sandwich, the air fried rolls were just matter - no real flavor, but the bahn mi is worth the trip. read more

To start....vietspot committed the CARDINAL sin of bubble tea. I never thought I would see the day where this happened...but: they gave a regular straw with the tea...if this was regular tea, ok fine. But how do they expect one to suck the bubbles up? Unfortunately I was home before I noticed and couldn't ask for a correct straw but I was surprised to see no other reviews mentioned this? Also ordered the pho combo B which came with air fried crispy rolls and the rare/cooked beef in a spicy broth. The options are great and I thought it would be a great deal for the amount of food you would be getting, however, this is the definition of quantity not quality. The spring rolls looked like they were filled from the outside, but instead were just thick dough with maybe one or two carrot strips. Unfortunately, tasteless. I was excited to try the pho which others rave about. It was spicy as requested and there was a lot of beef added. However the broth just tasted like pure chili oil. There was no depth of flavor as I've had in other pho spots in the city. read more

Decent spot for takeout quality Vietnamese. Not the best I've had, but certainly not the worst. I have tried a couple of their menu items, but the go to is their Summer Rolls which are huge for $7.00. Definitely enough to fill you up if you add shrimp or pork. I have also had the Tofu Bowl w/ Vermicelli (and added Shrimp), and the Vermicelli w/ Pork. The Tofu Bowl was just okay... I prefer the thinner, lighter fried tofu (or tofu skin) to these thick slabs of it, but not terrible. The Vermicelli w/ Pork was much better and you get a ton of pork for the price. They also never skimp on noodles. Certainly an okay option for a quick bite. read more

I swear every time my friend and I come from the gym to here, we always come get the vegan broth tofu/mushroom pho and I always end up getting the thai tea and she gets a fruity drink(passionfruit), we fell in love with this spot bc it's so close to our gym to be honest, and the tofu here is seasoned so well it's unforgettable. I think about the season tofu in my sleep lol, seriously. Every time i'm close by I try to come this spot bc it's just so freaking good. The staff are nice inside, they might even remember my face for the times i've been coming here, if not it's cool. The spot is small not much seating area only inside you can sit. but yes lord bless my soul this tofu is bomb and that's all I have to say, mic drop. read more

I have to unfortunately give a full star but it unfortunately deserves half. Im always looking for some good pho in each city I go to. This day was rainy, perfect for pho. I researched something close to where I was and this place popped up. So, give it a try. I walk into this little hole in the wall, which usually I prefer to big restaurants. Unfortunately when I walked in I didn't smell the real pho scents. So I already was hesitant. Ordered beef pho and summer rolls with Thai tea. At least they had a combo meal. Also was ordered a beef pho with spring rolls and Thai tea. The lady behind the counter wasn't friendly at all but I normally don't bother with that. The food tells me all. The food looked appetizing but I took a bite and this cannot be pho. I think it might be a Chinese version of pho but definitely not Vietnamese. No pho spices inside. I couldn't taste any of it. Then I think they didn't pre soak their noodles because they were so tough. Spring rolls didn't have the same wrapper so it was thick with no flavor. Summer rolls were the only thing that was decent. Thai tea I felt was extremely sweet. Eh you win some you lose some. I was happy to have some heat in my stomach on a chilly wet day! read more

The perfect lunch spot in FiDi if you are craving banh mis like I do! The store was rather small but even still, packed with people that it doesn't feel like a hole in the wall as it sure was a popular hole! I had to wait some time during prime lunch hour before I got my banh mi. But they were really fast and efficient. The Grilled Chicken Banh Mi ($10.75) was huge! I can't get over how banh mis have spiked to double its price from years ago, but at least the ones here are big enough to feel worth it. The ingredients were super fresh, from the cucumber to the carrots. The warm dark chicken was also pretty tender and juxtaposed the crunchy baguette well. I can't say for their pho, but Vietspot's banh mis are definitely a solid lunch option! read more

I finally stopped here to try their tofu bahn mi and I am sad it took me so long to try Vietspot. This was the best tofu bahn mi I have eaten. The tofu had a marinade on it and was very soft and enjoyable. The only thing i didn't like on the sandwich was a matter of personal taste. I don't like carrots in general, but can deal with them if they are finely chopped or julienned. These carrots were julienned, but on the thick side. I also had the lemon limeaid and really liked it. You can order it sweetened or unsweetened. read more

Wow what a great find. Vietspot has super reasonable prices and decent quality pho. The broth was flavorful, and the noodles were decent. It's the perfect meal if it's cold outside. The only thing is I wish there was a little more sliced beef, but at this price point you can't complain. I don't think there are very many options for pho in Fidi and while there are definitely better places in New York, this is a great option if you need something quick in the area for cheap. read more

Very popular spot in Fidi for lunch. Pretty big portions for the price. Lots of pieces of pork and also pickled vegetables and salad. Make sure you check your receipt because the cashier put down grilled chicken when I thought I said pork chop rice. Luckily she corrected it. Seems like they make things relatively fresh, otherwise it wouldn't take 20 mins to cook. Maybe order ahead if you have a meeting after lunch. read more
